Sporting Kansas City right back Graham Zusi is indeed right-footed, but you wouldn’t have known it in Saturday night’s 3-2 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park.
Zusi’s magisterial left-footed effort in the 56th minute — a venomous 20-yard blast that nestled into the top corner — is one of five Week 3 nominees for AT&T MLS Goal of the Week. Fans can vote for Zusi now through Wednesday at 2 p.m. CT.
Sporting Kansas City has won two straight games in thrilling fashion — a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire preceded Saturday’s defeat of San Jose — to move into a tie for first place in the Western Conference. The club has scored seven regular-season goals over a two-game span for the first time since 2015.
Manager Peter Vermes’ men will play for a third consecutive win on Saturday when they travel to face the Colorado Rapids in an 8 p.m. CT kickoff on FOX Sports Kansas City and FOX Sports Midwest Plus.
